Metro Detroit Photographer

Specializing in Maternity, Newborn, Cake Smash & Family sessions

Custom cake smash creations by

the best Metro Detroit Cake Smash Photographer.

Cake smash sessions are a fun and relaxed way to celebrate your baby’s first birthday. As a Metro Detroit cake smash photographer, I create simple, thoughtfully styled setups that keep the focus on your baby’s personality and expressions.

What’s Included in a Cake Smash Session

Cake smash sessions take place at my Mount Clemens, Michigan studio and are fully prepared before you arrive, so you can walk in and relax.

As a Metro Detroit cake smash photographer, I offer either a simple balloon garland or a custom themed setup. We’ll go over all of the details together once you’re ready to book your session.

There’s no need to bring anything with you. I provide the full setup, including balloons or props, as well as towels and washcloths for cleanup. I handle both the setup and the cleanup so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

I also work with a trusted baker who provides perfectly sized naked cakes designed specifically for cake smash sessions. If your child has allergies or you prefer to bring your own cake, you’re more than welcome to do so.

When to book your cake smash session

Ideally for planning, you are getting onto my schedule when baby is 10-11 months old.  This leaves us time to make sure my creations match your vision.  I can order or create backdrops and props with plenty of time without rushing my creative side.

Utica Cake Smash | Andrew

Utica Cake Smash | Andrew

I was recently Andrew’s Utica Cake Smash photographer, and before this I got to photograph his big sister’s cake smash too! I can’t believe how much he’s grown since his newborn session (one day I’ll blog that one). Big sister Brynley woke up feeling under the...

Before you read about this Chesterfield Cake Smash, be sure to head over and see Maximus as a newborn. His studio newborn session is still to this day one of my favorite sessions. He was an adorable baby, and has grown into an equally adorable 1 year old! His mom...

Fraser Cake Smash | Vihaan

Fraser Cake Smash | Vihaan

I am obsessed with Vihaan's Fraser cake smash. When I say this kid has modeling in his future, I mean it. One Year Old Nerves I'm pretty sure when he came in he wasn't super sold on the idea. He just stared at me with his big brown eyes. He was apprehensive but seemed...

Sage green with gold cake smash | Peyton

I had one of the cutest little boys in for his cake smash session today. Peyton’s mom requested a sage green with gold cake smash. I really love this combination, it’s been a popular request this year. His mom really nailed it with his outfit today as well. He wore...

Pink and Gold Cake Smash | Mia

Pink and Gold Cake Smash | Mia

Mia came to the studio for her pink and gold Minnie cake smash. When her dad showed me the dress she would be wearing I knew I'd have to take my girlie side to a whole new level. This wasn't going to be your average smash, this was going to be classy with a touch of...

Jumbo balloon cake smash | Lana

Jumbo balloon cake smash | Lana

Sweet little Lana came in for her jumbo balloon cake smash. Mom wanted something sweet and simple, and the jumbo balloon fits the bill every time. Lana was nervous, as so many one year olds are when they come in. It's a new place and I'm a new person. But she was so...

Mt Clemens Cake Smash | Hazel

Mt Clemens Cake Smash | Hazel

I can’t believe Hazels grow with me year has come and gone. I’ve so loved being her photographer to document this first year. But today’s the day I’m her Mt Clemens Cake Smash Photographer! She is always such a smiley girl, easy to please and has a great disposition....

Macomb Cake Smash Photographer | Kylie

Being a Macomb cake smash photographer is a rewarding job. Sometimes these adorable little one year olds like Kylie come in and just woo me. I turn into a puddle of mush for these little ones. It makes me instantly miss the days of my own kids being 1. So much is...

Fishing Cake Smash | Michael

Fishing Cake Smash | Michael

This fishing cake smash was so much fun. Michael's dad is an avid fisherman, so mom requested we showcase that for Michaels birthday celebration. I've had my eye on this adorable backdrop for ages, and jumped on the chance to purchase it for our session. I love...

I love posting cake smash sets being built on TikTok, head that way to see me design!

Many families I work with during newborn sessions return for milestone and cake smash sessions
